In a later classification Calkins (5) omitted the Phytomastigophora, as 

 a group, from the Mastigophora, However, the Peranemidae, a family of 

 Euglenida, was transferred to the Protomonadida to contain Peranema 

 and several related genera. Other Peranemidae (such as Heteronema, 

 Anisonema, Dinema, and Entosiphon) were placed in the family Bodoni- 

 dae of the Protomonadida. The Mastigophora were divided into two 

 classes, Protomastigota (the Order Protomonadida) and Metamastigota. 

 The opalinid ciliates were reduced from a separate subclass (Protociliata) 

 to a family in the Astomida.
